Get a Windows CE Palm-sized PC if you want to take Python with you whereever you
go.  Python runs stunningly well on my Casio E-100, and has nifty GUI
libraries.  It's not polished by any sense of the word but it works, and the
source is a barely changed version of the standard windows Python.  This makes
for easy improvement.

It sure is nifty to be coding during my commute :-)

Enjoy!
